Minitube is a flash free YouTube desktop application for Linux and Mac OSX. Minitube is perhaps one of the cleanest looking YouTube desktop client I have ever used in Ubuntu. And the fact that Minitube does not use the Flash player to play videos makes it a really low consumer of your CPU resources.

Minitube Feature List

Minitube interface looks nice and simple. All you need to do is, enter the keywords into the search box and hit 'enter'. Minitube will find what you are looking for.

Minitube plays HD videos up to 1080p. And there is an option to go full screen as well.

Since Minitube does not use Flash Player, Minitube in turn preserves battery life and keeps your laptop cool.
